Program Information

Supported by Novartis, the Weitzman Institute will offer a free Advancing Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis Learning Collaborative (LC) designed to help participating health centers strengthen the care and services they provide to their patients and communities. The LC will provide tools and resources to assist health centers in engaging patients in conversations about breast cancer screening, providing information to support informed decision-making, and encouraging patients to become more active in making decisions about the care that is right for them. Specifically, this LC will focus on breast cancer screening and diagnosis. The LC will be offered to health centers located in Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York City.
